To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE HAYES, of No. 71 Eighth Avenue, in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in 'Panelsfor Window- Blinds, Shutters, Doors, Screens, Shades of Railroad tlars, and to take the place of movable or stationary slats in every instance where they maybe used; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being hadto the accompanyingdrawing, which forms part of this specification.

This invention has for its object, or certain of them, the same as those described in my former application for patent filed in the Fat ent Ofiice October 23, 1875, namely, to obstruct the direct rays of the sun, and to exclude dust, insects, &c.; and as I propose using narrow strips of metal, I can construct the panels of smaller'pieces or cuttings of the sheets which have been used for other purposesconsequently a saving in cost is efiected.

My improvement consists in forming a panel composed of a strip of perforated metal one" inch in width, more or less, and another strip of blank metal of corresponding or suitable width, the edges of which I bend so as to form a bearingor shoulder, upon which the per- Ais the frame to which the strips of metal are secured; B, the perforated strips of metal;

0, the blank strips of metal.

What is here claimed, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is- A panel composed of strips of perforate metal and blank strips of metal bent intoform substantially as and for the purpose herein shown and described. I
